A Defense of Creationist Reasoning

Turri, J. (2014). Creative reasoning. In J. Turri & P. Klein (Eds.), Ad infinitum: new essays on epistemological infinitism (pp. 210–226). Oxford: Oxford University Press.

I defend the unpopular view that inference can create justification. I call this view inferential creationism. Inferential creationism has been favored by infinitists, who think that it supports infinitism. But it doesn’t. Finitists can and should accept creationism.
